Ahead of the 2015 presidential election, South East and South- South traditional leaders in Lagos have called on Nigerians to give President Goodluck Jonathan another four years to complete the good work he has already started.
Chief Sylvan Ebigwe, Chairman of the group, at a briefing in Lagos told newsmen that the group would ensure that Jonathan is returned for another fours years.
According to Ebigwe, this would enable him complete the good works he had started, saying that it would be a national economic and political suicide to change a winning team.
The group also called on the embattled governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, and the President to resolve their ongoing power tussle to allow peace reign.
It also urged Governor Amechi to pay a visit to the President for reconciliation so peace would reign between them.
Ebigwe, while speaking recalled that in the past, development and infrastructure were completely discarded, but stated that the current government had started to restore development and growth in the country.
He noted that there had been a positive transformation in the economy, while the stock market had shown some significant recovery since Jonathan assumed office.
While condemning the deportation of fellow citizens by the officials of Lagos State government to Anambra State, the group chairman said “Such action is inimical to the relative cordial relationship existing among all Nigerian citizens resident in Lagos.”
The group appealed to the Lagos State government to correct the mistake and compensate the aggrieved parties accordingly.
